An Evening with the Legends of DARTS

Friday, June 5, 2026

Join us for an unforgettable night of arrows, stories, and sporting legends at the Empress Ballroom on Friday 5th June 2026 🎯✨

We’re bringing together four iconic names from the world of darts — Bob Anderson “The Limestone Cowboy” (1988 World Champion & 3x World Masters Champion), Dennis Priestley (2x World Champion), Lisa Ashton (multiple-time Women’s World Champion and one of the first women to compete at the PDC World Championship), and Peter Manley (Desert Classic Champion and three-time World Championship finalist).

These legends have competed on the biggest stages in the world — from the iconic Lakeside to the electric atmosphere of Alexandra Palace — collecting major titles, thrilling fans, and helping shape the golden era of darts. Between them, they’ve faced the very best in the game, won world titles, and created unforgettable moments that fans still talk about today.

Enjoy an evening packed with entertainment as the players take to the stage for live interviews and an exclusive Q&A session, sharing hilarious dressing room stories, career highs, and behind-the-scenes insights from life on the oche.

There will also be meet & greet opportunities with professional photos, giving you the chance to get up close with true legends of the sport.

Get involved in the action with interactive games and challenges throughout the night, including the incredible opportunity to step up and play against a darts legend — a moment you’ll never forget! 🎯

The evening will be hosted by a special guest MC, keeping the energy high, alongside a raffle and auction featuring fantastic prizes.

Whether you're a lifelong darts fan or just looking for a unique, high-energy night out, this is a rare chance to see true icons of the game all in one place.
